Excellent experience. I have been here many times before. Always clean, welcoming, and educational. I would advise you to check before you come if there are any special events on as it can get incredibly busy and best to book parking in advance.
Playground: Small sensory playground and stick man trail.
Restrooms: Male, female, and accessible facilities. Extremely clean and tidy.
Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome on leads.
Picnic area: Tables and chairs near the main building/entrance. Various benches around and grass for blankets.

Really needs a full day to get round all the memorials,pay for your parking online, food nice and not too expensive but the money is going to the upkeep of the Arboretum.Helpful staff.

Enjoyed a day here with a local group. It is a beautiful place to visit . There are so many amazing memorials to see in such a beautiful setting. The armed forces Memorial was especially thought provoking. We went on the land train which gave a good commentary as we travelled around and then spent time wondering at our leisure. Several members also hired mobility scooters for the day. There are lots of volunteers all around the site who were really friendly and informative. Lunch in the restaurant was good and excellent value for money.
Entry is free, land train was £7.50 and hire of mobility scooters £10 for the day.
All in all an excellent day out.

Despite the importance of the Arboretum as a national memorial, it is also a really beautiful place to visit. Lovely staff, restaurant and well stocked shop on site.

What an amazing place!!!
A place to be alone with your thoughts and memmories, and close to those you've lost!!
The staff we're so caring and friendly, and the video loop in the theatre was so thought provoking, it moved me to tears 😢

From the first time we went 16 years to now, what a change great job done by all. When you go round look at what the other religions did to make this world safer, muslims, Sikhs, Christians, what a great place. Schools should be able to take the pupils round without prejudice of religion.

A beautiful place to remember the people who fought for us to keep us liberated from tyranny.
Dog-friendliness: You can take your dog with you. They have a dog friendly cafe outside. There is a cafe inside but there is limited tables for people with dogs. The only places you can't go are the children's play areas, and The Armed Forces Memorial.
Picnic area: There is plenty of space to take something to eat with you. Plenty of benches to sit on. Or there's cafés there if you prefer to do that.

Great cafe. Not what you might expect . Goes beyond the military and tells the story of humanity during times of conflict. So much to see amongst the many trees. An amazing outdoor space.
Playground: An area to test your balance and climb on things.
Restrooms: Great facilities. Clean and spacious

You have to visit if you are connected to the Military in any way or even if you are not. Give yourself a good day to see everything though.

Really nice place to visit. Pleasant staff, comfortable areas to rest and sit as its a very large area and there are lots of memorials to see. Dedications to lots of services, not just military. Food and drink in cafe not outrageously expensive, as you sometimes find! Good day out!

Went here for the 1944 event.
The arboretum is always a great visit as it's a lovely walk round.
I came with my family of all ages.
Arriving here having pre booked parking we were ushered straight through. This meant we missed the entry desk where we would normally be given a map and a trail sheet for the kids. I'm glad we didn't have to que but if there was a volunteer on a stand alone desk then this could help.
We were looking forward to the lawn games but couldn't find where these were.
I really think it would benefit from a cafe or something at the far end of the park.
The event itself was great the park is well looked after too.
The cafe is Pricey as expected ands can be a little complicated in the system. There's no clear menu on the hot food area either so unless you push forward between the crowd you can't see.
Staff lovely as always

Everyone should visit this place. Unfortunately we had limited time. 10am -2pm. We were welcomed by an extremely helpful lady. Firstly we did the buggy tour. Our guide, a CDT teacher, was fantastic. His knowledge and delivery excellent. As time was limited we then did the land train tour. It was also wonderful with an excellent commentary. The various memorials and the grounds have been so carefully and imaginatively thought out it is a must see. Finally we enjoyed a tasty lunch in the restaurant. We needed more time.
